Can someone explain why the reviews are coming out so late?
Doesn't most reviews comes out before the game releases?

Normally yes, but the servers went live at the same time for everyone (similar to many proper MMOs). There wouldn't be much point putting them up earlier for reviewers, they'd have barley anyone to play with :p

When a game is hyped and publishers know that at this point review scores will hardly increase the game sales but can hurt the sales when the reviews are bad so they send the review copies very late 'like 24 hours before the official releasedate'  this time reviewers were very attend and made gamers clears that the reviews will be late up because it is a big game and 24 hours is not enough...  Also Bungie and Activision send out to the world that gamers should note believe first day reviewers and that we should just buy their game because Destiny is amazing...  Gamers were so hyped and indeed did not check the reviews and went for it;..

bungie was never great... all they did was a good casual fps.

I think Destiny's Metascore is going to be around 87, maybe slightly higher!


Hopefully Bungie won't cry like a baby.

A gamers in the hype train need anything good stuff that they want or saw something cool. Imagine this. Anything missing or changed stuff they saw on E3 JUST A SINGLE CHANGED, they will be intsa-disappointed.

im not keen so far, 7/10 from me

I can't believe that people think 80 is a bad score :/ Reasons like this making video game reviews so pointless. It's either amazing or shit, no inbetween
